My Amazing Rescue Story

This morning I was woken up by crows creating a racket and pecking at the window. My mother saw that they were pecking at something and woke me up. I woke up to see that the crows were pecking at an Owl. It was badly injured and was bleeding. We called my father into the scene. He took a stick and drove away the crows. We saw that the Owl was stuck between the window grill and the glass.

For the past 10 days or so, we had seen the same Barn Owl screeching in the evening. But today, it was in our window, bleeding badly. We took turns turning away the crows because they would kill it. We didn’t want that to happen ! Not at all ! So my mother immediately called up Katraj Zoo as they had a rescue team. And a person named Santosh came.

We showed him the owl. He asked for some water and some turmeric. Turmeric works like an antiseptic. He mixed some water with the turmeric and applied on the owl’s wounds. He then took some more water and poured it into the Owl’s beak. It silently drank the water and was resting in a cloth bag. Santosh bhaiyya then washed his hands and took the sleeping owl in a cloth bag away to Katraj Zoo.

Note : I did not make this story up. It was real !!!

A silly poem for the kid's blog :

If this book should dare to roam,
Box it's ears and send it home.
Steal not this book for fear or for shame,
Look up and see the owner's name.
On Judgement day, The Lord will say,
"Where is the book you had stolen away?"
On it you will say, "I cannot tell",
The Lord will kick you, "Straight to Hell!!!"

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share 20 important tips for a Germ Free school year

The school year always brings new friends, new teachers, new assignments, and unfortunately some new germs. But not to worry, a new school year doesn't have to mean new illnesses!

Follow these tips and you might score a perfect attendance record this year!

1. Wash your hands with soap and water after you sneeze, cough, or use the bathroom. Count to 20 or sing a couple of rounds of Row, Row, Row Your Boat while you scrub!

2. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water aren't available.

3. Use a tissue when you need to sneeze or cough. Throw your tissues in the trash—don't attempt a Guinness World Record for the biggest pile of dirty tissues!

4. If you can't stifle a cough or sneeze in a tissue quickly enough, sneeze into the crook of your elbow.

5. Take a multi-vitamin every day.

6. Don't share water bottles or drinks. Your friend might not know he or she is sick and spread germs to you.

7. Don't share your hair brush or hat. Little creatures like head lice could be hiding out and could be passed on from one person to another.

8. Stay home from school, sports practice, and parties if you feel sick or have a fever.

9. Wash your dishes with detergent and very warm water to kill germs.

10. Stay away from family gatherings and reunions if you are sick or if one of your family members is sick. Grandma and Grandpa and younger cousins may have a stronger reaction to the illness than you do.

11. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. A healthy diet can help boost your immune system and help you fight off illnesses before they make you sick!

12. Sleep eight or more hours every night. A strong body will help you fend off infections.

13. Wash your hands after you high five, fist bump or shake someone's hand.

14. Don't double dip into the salsa or dip.

15. Get some fresh air and exercise every day. Outside air often carries fewer germs than stagnant indoor air.

16. Avoid crowded places like movie theaters and shopping malls if the flu has been reported in your town.

17. Don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. These areas are germ spreaders.

18. Don't share ear buds with friends. They can harbor loads of germs.

19. Blow kisses to your sick friends and family instead of kisses and hugs.
